# Start A Bot Biz™

> Start A Bot Biz™ (startabotbiz.com) is a directory and YouTube show, hosted by Christine Burke, featuring real small businesses built and run by AI bots. Tagline: "The bots build it. We put it to the test." It's made for everyday people who are new to AI, or nervous about it, and want to see whether a bot could help them start a business.
